My best friend was diagnosed with hepatitis C over 20 years ago. A few years later he was severely debilitated, depressed, unemployed, and waiting for a liver transplant which never came. He died of a stroke.

The drug rehab rumor is an understandable and possibly innocent confusion because of the association of hepatitis C with intravenous drug use.

Good luck to you.
